#31# This is something I haven't heard before, Thanks for the info..

One Quick Question : Does the octo lockscreen shows the unlock icon properly or its hidden ?
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
Really? At first I was convinced that HTC officially announced Desire S WILL get ICS update.
[HTC Desire S] Darky135:
edit never mind xD
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
Thank you, I got it on GetJar... However I am aware that the site may not provide future updates. I downloaded WiFi Explorer too, but it shows Unlicensed in the about page.

I have a feeling of using unofficial softwares.
[HTC Desire S] e2zippo:
I've had a couple of reboots, how would i go about to post a log, what app would i need?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
You should have Android SDK installed to issue ADB commands. Search the forum or Google for how to install it. Then you have to issue adb logcat>log.txt (stop by CTRL+C) that you have the log saved as log.txt in the folder from which you've issued the ADB command (usually in the "platform-tools" folder of you Android SDK install location). Or you can install QtADB after installing android SDK and you have option there to check the logs

Great job Virtuous Team, very nice ROM.

Keep up the good work!

suku_ics theme or another one?
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
I think it's Ice Cream Sandwich by Tama_Chan.
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Tama_Chan is for Super clock, my skin is for Home and smaller home
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
Only seventh icon is hidden.
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
Looking on GetJar's dev blog, updates should be coming sooner rather than later. I can't comment on WiFi explorer. :)
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
Please screenshot Tampa_Chan clock.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
It's not Tama_Chan clock, it's a theme Tama Chan made for the beautiful widgets super clock,

We should be getting an update because it was said that an device that is less than 18 months old should get the update! Also it says on the Android wiki any device shipped with 2.3 should get v.40
[HTC Desire S] woti23:
is the 3g/H/E icon for data missing, or is it possibile to enable it somehow?

the 2 "micro"-arrows inside the signalbar are way small to see.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
No, it is not missing. It is part of the redesigned ICS UI to have the 3G/H/G icons smaller over the signal bars and the arrows inside it. It cannot be activated or made visible by standard means/setups. It should require that someone that is doing themes, to start making ICS themes and modify framework files and make this....I don't know even if this could make it visible, I'm not an expert

Freezing my Phone immediately

Hi,

I used Virtuous Ouattro Beta3-RC1 without problems, went back to Reaper and now tried RC3. After installations and setup, it freezes my Desire S almost immediately (<1min). Doesn't matter if I'm doing something or not. Afterward I have to pull battery, no 3 butten reset or adb possible.

Tried it at least 6-7 times, all with format, Factory Reset, Wipe. Downloaded the ROM 2 times (with the phone and with the PC). All other ROMs I've tested work (CM9 Alpha, Reaper, MIUI4).

Wrapp
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
You're headed towards an eMMC disaster man...

I mean wanting to run a ROM is fine, but 6-7 battery pulls!! It's only a matter of time...

Just thought i'd warn you. :)
[HTC Desire S] V_Plum:
Camera always have FCs on starting just after two or three successfull starts. How can it be fixed? Tried to erace all camera app data, didn't fix.
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Use, lgCamera from market instead! I know, it's not a fix, but a good workaround!
[HTC Desire S] -Ram-:
Hey guys, do you think this ROM is good for everyday use??

i'm getting bored with my DS, and i want something new, do you recommend it?

Thanks :)
[HTC Desire S] engmarwan10:
additional accounts

how can i add a facebook, twitter and other accounts on this ROM ????
[HTC Desire S] jimmygoska:
Download the respective apps and sign in...?

What other accounts do you want?

POP? IMAP? Exchange? Google?

Menu -> System Settings -> Accounts and Sync -> Add account

---------- Post added at 01:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------

Yes. ICS is an awesome change from Gingerbread. Bear in mind that some things do not work fully, so if you want a 100% functional change, don't get this one.

But I can live without the camera working completely.
[HTC Desire S] tcchuin:
The emmc chips died before he pulled the battery, not after
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
My dear fellow, if he can boot into the ROM, and is getting system freeze while booted up, this is obviously not a fried EMMC issue. Plus, he said other ROMs are working fine... That would mean he's able to flash them... and only gets this problem on VQ ICS, after flashing and booting up.

Do you see now?

I would suggest some more reading so you can get an idea of what a fried EMMC means. I think you're confused about this. The EMMC chip is not dead yet, but if he, or anyone else for that matter, keeps pulling battery, it will eventually happen.

And then there will be a frantic "HELP ME - STUCK ON HTC LOGO" post in the General section!!
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Sadly but in the morning I found my DS off with 1% battery left...it was full charged at 23:30 yesterday when I went to sleep. Something similar with what happened to me when I had beta 5 (or maybe 6...those with batery drain issue). Anyone had something similar?

I'll try a battery calibration and I'll keep an eye on it today and if it's the same I'll be back to RC2. 9h 5m is not much on battery
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
What is this screebl with a 19% drain? I'm sorry I'm not aware of that app...

Beamed from the Dark Side using xda premium.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
ScreeblPRO is a program that I find very useful and I have it from the very first Android device. It's keeping the screen on in case phone has a certain orientation (customizable). Mine is set to go in stand-by only when phone is horizontal not when I keep it in my hand...you know when reading something and screen tends to enter in stand-by mode cause it took more for you to read than it's the time set for screen-off. I have it set to enter stand-by in 15 secs. Using this program phone is not going into standby if phone is not horizontal. You can find it on the market and have some more details

I had this program installed in every beta ICS ROM and is having the same parameters. It shouldn't affect battery life. More than that, phone was in stand-by next to my bed whole night, no phone calls, no wifi...it was just as every night. Don't know what happened
[HTC Desire S] Rataplan626:
Offtopic in this rom-thread but is this eMMC thing subject to specific batches/revisions of the Desire S? I must have pulled my battery over 50 times by now, no issues at all. Just curious.
[HTC Desire S] craigster1991:
works very well, thanks! :D

clocking to 1.8ghz with set cpu, quadrant score of about 2500

only thing is in the launcher settings, neither the 'dock' or 'icons' menu options do anything... is this intentional? anyone else have this bug?

hulkshare is much slower than multiupload :(

can I flash this with Rom Manager or do I need to flash it manually?

thnx!
[HTC Desire S] Jiia:
The new hosting site is okay but it's slow compared to multiupload. I can download 150kB/s from Hulkshare and 10MB/s from Multiupload. That's 20 minutes vs. 15 seconds.
[HTC Desire S] Ovigo:
Getting the max of my ISP here from both: 750KB/s. Any other people experiencing battery drain from the Facebook app? Here about 20% in the previous beta.
[HTC Desire S] DuTY09:
downloading and flashing now cheers again for the hard work :)
[HTC Desire S] Darky135:
ok you can flash it with Rom Manager ;) works great!

thnx ;)
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
great job with the update.

one thing i have noticed: the dialer is quite laggy it has a delay when opened and when trying to dial someone anyone having this issue?

[HTC Desire S] Durdy:
Has anyone else noticed the bug in the email program? Not gmail, but the regular email application doesn't actually show the email, just a load of white space where the text/ images should be...

I can't find the old RC2 download anymore to try and flash the old email either.

Edit: Re-adding the accounts seems to have fixed it.
[HTC Desire S] V_Plum:
Pity, but this release still have a lot of bugs

1. Music app do not see music files on the SD card often, asking me to add few songs through USB. Have to restart it few times.

2. Some apps (i. e. online game Storm8 World War) have problems with colors (was ok in prev betas).

3. Custom app shortcuts on the lockscreen working wrong -- 2nd app is at the left, but there's no 1st app's icon at all.

4. Camera is still unstable. My have FCs always after just few successfull starts.

5. Still no headset icon in the statusbar.

6. "People" app stops responding sometimes.

more?..

Rolled back to MIUI (2.3.7) and still waiting for more stable release :)
[HTC Desire S] engmarwan10:
some application is not working such as Viber, is there a solution for such apps ???
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
My Desire S fried its eMMC once when I pulled the battery twice within one minute. The old Desire was tougher. After changing the board, my Desire S works fine. Since I bought it early, I suppose this happens on early batches.
[HTC Desire S] Wrapp:
Hi,

I finally checked the emmc via adb, and everything is OK, even after pulling the battery 6-7 times. My emmc chip is the type which is blamed for the emmc deaths (don't remember the exact name yet). But: What is a solution if the phone freezes like that? adb/3 button reset dioesn't work, so is the only way to run the batt ou of power

What also happened during this battery pulling session: All files on my SD Card are 0 Bytes. So I have to load/setup... everything again, since all settings and Nandroid/TB Backups are gone.

Running CM9 Alpha now since 20h without any problems. As already mentioned, Reaper also works, so it is Virtuous ROM (downloaded it twice) related. Nobody else facing such problem?

Thanks for all your effort,

I usually restart the email app and it fixes the issue.

Loving this rom.

One thing I noticed, if I install a new app that has Widgets then the widget list doesn't update. It eventually does update but I'm not sure how.

Anyone else notice this?

EDIT:

Just went into Trebuchet settings, made a change and went Home again. This forced Trebuchet to load and the widget list to update.
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
That is an amazing piece of advise :-)

Just few thongs I wanted to know, is anyone having problem with sygic navigator , it opens up and freezes. I had data toggle in the toggles before I messed and now I don't have it and I couldn't find where add from, its not in quarto control toggles.

What VPN type do you need? Connections to Cisco VPN servers and AVM FritzBoxes work perfectly with 'VPNC Widget' from market.

How about battery economy? Comparing to official soft? It is more battery consuming?
[HTC Desire S] chivas112:
in my opinion battery drain seems to be a little higher compared to CM7.1 but it last for at least one day with "normal" usage.
[HTC Desire S] terragady:
comparing to normal official soft? Somebody?

Anyway i think its time for me to try it, but i hate when ROM has bugs and unworking things.
[HTC Desire S] Ovigo:
Any of you guys(/gals) have problems with the orientation (sensor)? In maps it should show an arrow for my present location giving the direction in which I'm holding the device. In previous beta's it worked perfectly for me, but since the last few versions it is broke. Androsensor reports for 'orientation': "waiting for event".

Is this just me, or is it a bug?

(always upgraded with cachewipe only)
[HTC Desire S] jimmygoska:
I don't know about other people but it's been pretty epic for me recently. 8hrs on battery and I'm down to 85%. This is using it for a couple calls, texting and listening to music. =)

I've had mobile data off for 90% of the time though since I've had wifi.
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
For current bugs you can see the previous posts.

If you are looking for a rom with a stablity comparable to official roms, you shouldn't try this one. It is still in alpha status, which means many bugfixes are still in progress.
[HTC Desire S] sHAKaJaada:
From CM7 think you? Not boot for me when put some other Camera.apk from anyother CM9 :(

Hi,

Im using RC3, but there are a few things I've noticed:

- Why is the 2G toggle in the notificationbar missing, I'm pretty sure it was there in last version.

- If I enable homescreen rotation and turn the phone to the left everything is ok, but if you turn it to the right I think the 4 icons and the app drawer icon should be on the left side, but they arent.

- And the notification LED is not working if I missed a call, missed sms are ok.

btw. did a full wipe

thanks for the great rom
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Confirm, I have the same. No LED notif for missed calls, only for messages

Later edit: Temp solved by installing third party app Light Flow
[HTC Desire S] Jiia:
The icons should always be on the right side. Homescreen rotation works properly.
[HTC Desire S] PDAve:
Hi! Thanks for the ROM! Fine!

But my Windows 7 x64 cannot handle this ROM's USB storage mode. What kind of driver should I use? (sorry if this is a noob question, i tried to look after in this topic)

I have found another bug: when I call after 30 second the call back down automatically but if I receive a call all works fine.

I have tried MIUI ICS yesterday, and I was surprised multitouch is working OK. Of course I cannot be sure, but tried really hard to reproduce multitouch bug and cannot do this. This is weird because MIUI uses CM ICS, and there multitouch is broken too...

Lots of new Statusbar battery tweaks.

Thnx MDeejay.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Just what I've noticed at first glance:

1. Battery CircleMOD available in battery settings (Quattro Control)

2. Quick pin unlock (no need to press OK after password/pin entering) in Lockscreed options (Quattro Control)

3. Toggles icons are now "greyed out" if not activated/disabled. Till now they were bright white regardless of the status (atcive/disabled)

4. LCD Density change option added to General UI settings (Quattro Control)

5. Link ringer/notification volume option added to Sound settings (Volume). Can now set different volumes for ring/notifications

Will add more as I find them

It was missing in RC3 as well
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
Not here it isn't... Though I came from Full Wipe > RC1 > Dalvik / Cache wipe > RC3.
[HTC Desire S] tzm41:
Actually the flash works fine here. I am using RC3.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I had a full wipe before RC3 and I had it missing from setup. I usually do not deactivate mobile data so there was no need for me to have that toggle there (just taking up space). So I was looking for a way to get rid of it but in the toggles setup I couldn't find it. It's still missing in pre RC4 release
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
I've still got it here in as before > Dalvik/Cache wipe > pre RC4 too. :confused:
[HTC Desire S] chrisi100:
I had it also in rc4, but then I pressed "reset toggles" and now its gone:eek:

At first Ive lost the 2G toggle and now the data.:(
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
I'd test that....but I don't want to lose the toggle! :)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Nevermind...got rid of the mobile data toggle by selecting "Reset toggles". Now the toggle does not appear anymore in the notification bar and also does not appear in the toggle settings (where you select which should be visible or not). I've attached the prtscr with what I have in the list....there's no mobile data there. If you have it...I don't know why and how

Later edit: Anyone can confirm if in this "pre RC4" the Gallery at least loads very fast and display almost instantly? I haven't noticed that speed previously, but I must admit that I didn't played with Gallery alot also
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
:facepalm:

I've been looking at the toggle order screen... Not the toggle selection screen... I don't have Data in the selection screen. It seems like it's retained my settings though so I can still select them in the order screen.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Yes...IF you have it displayed then you have it also in the "order toggles" list (obvious since it IS there:))...but not in the "select toggles" setting. For me it's not a big deal cause I don't want it there anyways, but some people use this toggle alot
[HTC Desire S] Durdy:
Yea, I think it's loading much quicker now.

By the way, if you want a preview on the camera, download and install this apk:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19736187/Camera.apk

Working on RC3 and 4. However, it's still buggy. Here's the old version (RC3) if you run into any problems:

hmmm..... want to switch back to ICS. How's the web rendering on rc3/pre-rc4?

I have a backup of rc2 but web rendering was pretty slow on that, or at least not as fast as gingerbread. Has it improved now?
[HTC Desire S] Ovigo:
It has improved, though it's not yet on gingerbread level. Very usable now though, from quite annoying in everything pre RC3
